Would you like to be able to use floaters and powerboards on other places besides Risa?

    Sure... as long as I can take potshots at these players.

    Turn it into something like a Skeet Shooting Event where the purpose is to shoot down players flying around with their floaters and powerboards.

    Id rather shoot the people that think the jump button is the only way to move in game -.-

    as a side note, while I do want to see my powerboard and floater in other game areas/content, I wouldnt expect it to be on any older maps aside from maybe a social zone or two. I would expect to see it in new maps/new social zones. I also like when they re-purpose items like floaters into EVA suit engines for what was it... Step Between the Stars?

    Who wouldn't? But Tacofangs has explained in the past that making a map "floater-friendly" is difficult for them to do and that's why we haven't seen it anywhere* but Risa. Dunno about powerboards, but there aren't really any other locations where there is a lot of open water.

    *In a social zone, that is...

    Not interested at all.

    I still remember time ago when the devs said that they have planned to include the rope gun to be able to use it on other maps, as an usable item, and guess what?? that never happened. Just saying...

    The maps are not designed for floaters, social zones arent either. Hell, you can go running and suddenly you will crash with invisible walls.. making you going slow and so on, and this happens in almost every single ground map. Imagine to "translate" that code to use floaters, it will be a total chaos not to mention the path problems we will have. Epic.

    In my personal view, the boards and such can go @#%$ themselves (kidding... mostly) but the jet packs should be an attachment option for EV suits. We already know they CAN do it, like in the dyson mission, they just need to open it up to ALL EV suits. That current post hopping system is just bad, and can leave you stuck at times. Being able to upgrade your EV jets with the upgraded Risian jets would make those missions way more fun, as well as open more opportunity for better and greater foundry missions. Even Dilithium mining would benefit greatly.

    EV suits should be given the use of the jetpacks rather than the post hopping we're bogged down with currently.

    Whatever.
    Wishful thinking :)
